Clinical research

Clinical research in the Department focuses on evaluating new and existing therapies and diagnostic methods. By objectively measuring surgical success factors (such as blood loss and recovery time) as well as following the course of patients’ symptoms over time after their initial treatment, faculty scientifically analyze which courses of treatment lead to the best outcomes.

Because Urology faculty members see patients each day in the clinic and in the hospital, their clinical work informs their research, and likewise, their research is ultimately put to use in the clinic. In this way, they strive to continually improve the medical and surgical techniques used to treat urologic disorders.
